Life Skills​

Led by multiple therapists, the Life Skills Program is designed to promote daily independence. Students work on basic skills such as getting dressed, laundry, cooking, cleaning, gardening, chores, caring for a pet, planning, and organization. Our staff gives clear, incremental hands-on instruction and provides students the opportunity to practice daily living skills in a safe and supportive environment.
